I driven past this place a lot. I decided to give it a try. Although I haven’t had a lot of Vietnamese food, this is my favorite. I would highly recommend giving this place a try.

We found this place while waiting for our vehicle at Discount Tire down the street. We like boba and didn’t try any of the food, which did look fantastic. However, the boba wasn’t very good so I may recommend the Coconut Lychee instead which was much better.

The portion sizes here are HUGE . I got the surf and turf Cali bowl with rice and it was so good. Nice size restaurant with an ambiance and friendly staff. Short walk from our hotel as well. Recommend!

Absolutely impressed! A wonderful place to grab any meal. Amazing prices too – we thought with what we were paying we would be getting a tiny banh mi but wow. It was delicious and everyone got something different and perfect. The atmosphere has a gorgeous asthetic and great for photos too.

I never write reviews but I am very disappointed in my experience at Cali Banh Mi today. I noticed several small gelatinous balls of what I assume are fat in my lemongrass ribeye beef banh mi. I politely waited to see if anyone would come up to help me at the front counter and no one did. I just wanted to see if I could switch for another meat but I waited so long and no one came. I am honestly disgusted that I ate this before I notice that the sandwich was filled with these pieces. A worker finally came out and said “it’s probably fat yeah sorry about that” but there was no resolution. I’m just really bummed.
